Except, "Western Culture" is arguably at the strongest it has been post-Colonialism. We are living in the most peaceful age in human history, technology is flourishing, many countries have adopted more and more secular and progressive legislation and cultural norms in imitation of us, real issues such as race and gender are working their way to the forefront where they might actually be truly and completely addressed, "culture" in terms of art, music and other media is perhaps the most vibrant and diverse it has ever been

Also, some Western norms have been adopted by non-Western countries (non-European and not settled by European settlers). Japan and South Korea come readily to mind as being politically similar to Western countries.

Q: What happens to Europe with the millions of migrants when the money runs out?

A: Civil war.

Europe's civil war has been going on for centuries, with only brief interludes of semi-peace while they gear up for the next one.

We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the young for a long long time."PZ Myers

There has been a "general" Pax Americana for 70 years. It won't last forever. The problem is what comes next. I once hoped Europe could take it over, but it is weakening. Russia can't, Communist China can't, Brazil can't. Japan can't. One can only hope the US can regain some footing and re-establish a cooperative Western Liberal alliance as a less powerful but still leading member.

Ask Soros et al what their plans are. There is a Big Club, and you aren't in it.
